Study the past, shape the future.Coventry University offers a unique, modern history degree.

We have designed the History BA (Hons) to help you understand the historical forces that have shaped the modern world. It looks at how issues such as racism, gender constructs, class, political identities, war, and the environment have intersected, interacted, and evolved to change human societies over time. This course aims to develop your critical thinking skills and analyse themes and voices from a range of marginalised communities. We will encourage you to explore primary (historic) sources and have access those used by historians. You will also have the opportunity to develop a portfolio of historical pieces with evidence from media artefacts and your learning from any international experiences including collaborative online international learning projects.
